Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians
Royals come into this game on the back of an exciting two-wicket win against Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous match, led by Jos Buttler’s unbeaten century and Rovman Powell’s timely contribution in successfully chasing down a record target of 224. Avesh Khan and Kuldeep Sen supported their batsmen admirably during this vital contest.
MI are hoping to rebound after an underwhelming start to their tournament campaign. Their pursuit of top four ranking places a lot on the line; skipper Rohit Sharma will need to lead his side out of their current slump and back into winning ways as soon as possible.
Both teams are level on points at the top of the table, so victory could provide them with an edge towards making the playoffs. Sawai Mansingh Stadium provides an ideal batting-friendly pitch which should create an exciting contest.
Yuzvendra Chahal has quickly established himself as one of the premier wicket-takers in IPL history, needing just one more scalp to become the first bowler ever to reach 200 wickets in IPL history. Chahal will look to add to his impressive tally against an MI side who have struggled for form this tournament, led by skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag. MI’s batsmen must also step up their performances if their side hopes of mounting an effective run chase – they’ll receive support from their experienced middle order who have played many vital innings at key moments during IPL tournament games.
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl.
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl against Mumbai Indians at Sawai Mansingh Stadium during IPL 2024 match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, seeking to maintain their second position in the table and secure victory. Their pink jersey was worn to promote women’s empowerment in rural Rajasthan.
Sanju Samson of Rajasthan Royals expressed confidence in their performance following two wins, making one change by replacing Sandeep Sharma who remains injured with Nandre Burger. While Samson acknowledged the pitch looks dry at times, dewdrops will aid seamers’ performance on it.
Samson added that his team will play with a positive mindset, hoping to extend its run against Michigan at this venue and seize this as an opportunity to seize momentum and move into an advantageous position.
Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, hopes to turn things around after two consecutive defeats with his side. Winning the toss, he decided to bat first after selecting that option from among three choices available.
Mumbai Indians’ Quinton de Kock will lead their batting attack alongside Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya and Australian Nathan Coulter-Nile, along with bowlers Jaydev Unadkat, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult. Head-to-head record between these two sides stands even with 14 wins each and one no result match; these sides met during IPL Qualifier 1 last edition at Wankhede and ended in a draw. Both will attempt to reach final.
Rajasthan Royals scored 189 runs
Royals started strongly, their aggressive intent evident. Jos Buttler scored his second IPL ton while Sanju Samson provided solid support as they cruised towards victory with ease.
Buttler had the highest strike rate of any batsman during RR’s innings, signaling his confidence with his bat and providing the partnership of 148 between himself and Jaiswal – their largest of this season for RR. Early wickets seemed likely to prove challenging for Mumbai but Corey Anderson made life tough for their visitors.
MI’s chase started badly when captain Rohit Sharma and opener Ishan Kishan fell successively before experienced Hardik Pandya rallied his side to take them to 123-3 off 20 overs.
MI’s innings subsequently lost momentum as he fell, eventually finishing with an underpar total of 189 runs scored.
Rajasthan Royals lost the toss and elected to bat.
Last year, Royals were considered underdogs when they entered the tournament but ended up winning their first title since 2008. Their top-order was propelled by Jos Buttler as they finished as both top run scorer and wicket-taker in both innings; Shane Watson, Sohail Tanvir and Rahul Dravid played brilliantly alongside R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal Trent Boult Prasidh Krishna proved equally effective bowlers for Jaipur’s new-look bowling attack.
However, Royals’ season stumbled after an optimistic start and they dropped five out of their first six matches, managing only to win four before falling to Kolkata Knight Riders in an elimination match in round one of playoffs. Without Archer and Stokes – two key figures in their lineup – for much of the year and some remarkable individual performances including Buttler’s stand-out effort they finished seventh overall in the table.
RR have made some impressive auction signings this year, but have struggled to find a winning formula so far. Their opening pair of Buttler and Rahane has fallen below expectation while overseas player Darcy Short had an ineffective season for them. Additionally, injuries have plagued their side while captain Sanju Samson hasn’t looked his best recently.
Samson explained their decision to bat first at the toss wasn’t perfect, but was part of their original plan from the get go. It is important not to get carried away by big match pressure – and so their team have worked tirelessly on training ground until reaching the end of league stage play-offs.
Mumbai Indians scored 157 runs
Mumbai Indians experienced their second straight IPL loss this season but can take comfort in knowing their most recent defeat came against Chennai Super Kings – with Lendl Simmons and Kieron Pollard dominating CSK bowlers during Qualifier 1 but eventually falling short due to Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner’s disciplined bowling efforts reducing target areas significantly.
MI’s opening pair of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma produced two fluent forties in the Powerplay to set the tone of their innings, taking MI past 50 for the first time in this match. But, with an exquisite catch by Thakur at mid-wicket claiming Ishan for 23 in 15 balls with three fours and two sixes from him, their good work came to a sudden halt.
Loss of both batsmen slowed the scoring process significantly and MI was on the brink of collapse when they reached 139/6; but with Rohit scoring an excellent fifty they managed to keep themselves together and eventually secure a four-wicket victory.
Rohit scored an unbeaten 105 off just 109 balls with 13 fours and five sixes – his highest IPL score – which was well supported by Shivam Dube (66*) and Hardik Pandya (26). CSK captain MS Dhoni also contributed significantly with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 59 off just 43 balls that featured eight fours and three sixes – marking his fourth fifty of the tournament and helping CSK move ahead to 11 wins from 11 games to secure playoff qualification.
